Italian design house Salvatori made an impression at Milan Design Week 2025, unveiling two new collections that celebrate the interplay of nature, design, and material innovation. The Tuscan-based brand presented Nagi, a delicate new texture by Yabu Pushelberg, and Nereo, an elegant bathroom collection by Elisa Ossino, at their iconic showroom on Via Solferino 11, in the heart of Milan's Brera design district.
Salvatori continued its tradition of transforming natural stone into narrative and design, blending craftsmanship with contemporary elegance. As always, the brand delivered a multisensory experience, reinforcing its commitment to "understated luxury" through wall textures, sculptural furniture and poetic lighting, all crafted and hand-finished in Italy.
Nereo, Elisa Ossino's latest creation for Salvatori, offered a bold reinterpretation of bathroom furniture through the lens of sculptural minimalism. 'Nereo takes its name from the Nereids, sea nymphs believed to live underwater. I wanted to create a bathroom for Salvatori where natural stone, such a precious material, was treated with both softness and grandeur, in bold forms and generous proportions, with a sensitivity that enhances the natural essence of the stone,' explained Ossino.
The collection featured wall-mounted vanity units in three lengths, with or without basins, and was offered in a refined palette of stones including Bianco Carrara, Gris du Marais®, Verde Guatemala, and Silk Georgette®, among others. Drawer façades were available in walnut or oak finishes, or textured in Salvatori's signature Raw, Plissé, Bamboo, Spaghetti, or Smooth styles. The pieces' rounded, fluid edges evoked sculptures shaped by wind and water, expressing "the solemnity of nature's rhythms".
Nagi, designed by Canadian duo George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg, captured the gentle, rhythmic movement of water in natural stone. 'Translating the movement of water into solid stone is a reflection of Salvatori's ethos, crafting pieces that exist in spaces shaped by water,' said the designers.
The texture took the form of 586 x 292-mm rectangular tiles with ripples that replicated the concentric circles created by a stone hitting water. The pattern became more open and subtle across the tile, offering flexibility in layout and a dynamic interaction with light. The collection was available in Salvatori's staple stone palette including Crema d'Orcia Select, Pietra d'Avola, and Placido Paradiso.
Both collections formed part of a broader exhibition that included new interpretations of past favourites such as The Small Hours by Patricia Urquiola, Teo by Luca Nichetto, and Anima by Yabu Pushelberg. The Love Me, Love Me Not table by Michael Anastassiades made a return in Verde Antico marble, highlighting Salvatori's ability to reimagine icons in new materials.
With Nagi and Nereo, Salvatori once again redefined the potential of natural stone in design, seamlessly blending artistic vision, material sensitivity, and timeless form.
